>>14998637
Nice 0100. I'm fairly annoyed Citizen seems to have discontinued the ctq57 range of chronomasters. They were nice designs.

>>14998632
>>14998598
>Yes. Check out Archer Nylon quick release on Amazon.
That's not what I meant though, it should still have a piece of the strap going under the case, so that it covers the lug holes. So like a normal strap but just with a double strap part that also goes behind/under the case.

>>14998639
Fail.

redpill me on pic related. i really like the slim case. planning to buy this as my first dress watch.

New strap for the Vostok

>>14998685
Based

>>14998670
The dial texture and blued seconds hand are nice. That and the 2892 in it. Date window cutout looks a little cheap & 33mm is quite small these days. If that doesn't bother you then go for it.

>>14998726
any recommendations desu?

Beautiful

>>14998741
Another slim & dressy watch that comes to mind (and isn't a JLC) is this montblanc. Not saying the mido is necessarily a bad choice or anything, but the montblanc is worth a look too I guess.

>>14998745
stop posting this shitter

>>14998726
>That and the 2892 in it.
The new ones have the powermatic escapement in them and should not be properly considered 2892 variants. I would consider the Swatch Group's description of those movements as "2892 based" as bordering on deceptive, frankly. Once you take out the 2892's escapement the movement loses much of what makes the 2892 special. The movement now has much of the same strengths and weaknesses as all other powermatic 80 variants.

>>14998775
>The new ones have the powermatic escapement
Well shit, nevermind then.

>>14998777
You may still be able to find a NOS example with the older unmolested 2892 in it, probably at a discount at this point. I'd try that before writing the model off.

>>14998765
post your piece of shit then, i think its nice

>>14998778
That wouldn't include any of the 33mm ones would it? Also where do you see that the escapement is from the powermatic? Mido's site just says that the 1192 is based off the 2892-A2.

>>14998804
>Mido's site just says that the 1192 is based off the 2892-A2
I recognized the Powermatic 80 escapement immediately in the exploded movement diagram on the product listing for the watch. That's not what a 2892-A2 escapement looks like.

>>14998821
To be more specific, the two moveable weights on the balance wheel and the absence of a regulating arm or an etachron micro-adjustment screw tell you that the Mido 1192 doesn't have the escapement of a 2892-A2, pic related.

>>14998745
Nice Baltio

>>14998765
It’s beautiful and you know it. Doesn’t have to be a Rolex to be nice

>>14998685
This is exactly what I want to avoid btw. >>14998644

>>14998758
i worked for a luxury jewellers and we had these Montblanc watches but they never sold but the pens sold like crazy.

>>14998858
Why? Straps that go under the watch like a NATO strap are ugly as fuck and make the watch seem wider than it really is

>>14998721
Thanks friend

>>14998632
one watch to rule them all

>>14998920
delete

>>14998920
Based. I'm planning on getting a Garmin soon. I don't care about some fancy mechanical watch made my Swiss Jews asking for as much money as my car for a fucking watch.
I'm getting a Garmin so it can track all my fitness related stuff, especially since I'm getting into running more.
I have a Vostok and don't give a shit about other brands.

Can anyone recommend a website to buy Seiko 5s in a variety of models? Looking to get into my first mechanical.

>>14998784
i dont wear watches
>>14998835
how much is baltic paying you?

>>14998932
>i dont wear watches
then seriously, what the fuck are you doing here?

>>14998821
>>14998831
> hurr a balance wheel is an escapement right

>>14998936
i'm here to save you all from shitters.

Got a F-91 today for my jogs lads.

>>14998979
wew lad, how fast can you go

>>14998984
Kind of a gay question, brother.

>>14998956
The difference in appearance between the balance wheels was the easy way to identify the switch. The Powermatic 80 style escapements have their own pallet forks, escape wheels and all the rest, and the whole escapement would have been replaced in the switch.

That said, I'm not sure whether the synthetic escapements from the base Powermatic 80s are being used on these butchered 2892-A2 variants that Mido, Longines and the rest are using now.

>>14998958
Go shit up someone else's thread you dumb nigger. You're not saving anyone from anything so stop wasting your time.

>>14999009
The synthetic escapements aren't even being used in the Hamiltons.

>>14999029
I'm aware, but rather than having to infer that the ETA A31 uses a metal escapement like the Hamilton version of the P 80 do, I'd rather someone open one up, check, and take pictures.

What are the best machine manufactured mechanical movements out there? I'm assuming it belongs to rolex or GS but who knows

>>14999044
Best in what way? Accuracy? Durability? Decoration?

>>14999044
What criteria for best? Accuracy, finishing, etc?

What do you mean by "machine manufactured"? Even Rolex movements still use a fair bit of hand labour in assembly and adjustment. Grand Seiko's would use considerably more.

>>14999044
only machine manufactured movement I'm aware of is the Sistem 51 so I guess I'll say that.

Current daily wearer is a Seamaster 2254.50 but I want something nicer. Was looking into a DateJust but idk is that even appropriate for someone my age? worried everyone will just assume it's fake. 23 working in sales making about 90k.

>>14999053
>>14999055
>>14999063
Maybe I asked it wrong. As far as I can tell, watch movements belong in these categories:
Mass produced (ETA, Seiko movements, Miyota, chink shit). Which one of these is considered the best?
In house manufacture

But I can't find anything that suggests that an in house movement from anyone is better other than the finish and exclusivity. They might just be more expensive because they don't get to make their movements at scale.

Am I wrong? Are there in house movements that are superior, if we pretended we lived in a world where the quartz watch didn't exist? Basically, pretend it's a piece of machinery and think about things like accuracy, durability, isochronism, time being right even if the watch is tilted, time between servicing, features (maybe? It might screw up the answers)

>>14998991
even if i want to slip my dick into your gaping anus, thats besides the point. f91 is the gundam you see in the pic i posted. i was making a joke at how fast your f91 can go on your jogs

>>14999074
It's always just a set of tradeoffs. Seiko and Miyota movements tend to be very reliable and cheap to service but also less accurate. ETAs are very reliable and more accurate but require more service. Rolex makes movements that are incredibly accurate and reliable in a tool setting but require expensive proprietary parts, tools and knowledge to service. There's really no "best" as much as it is a question of goals and priorities.

If you don't care about accuracy but you want it to run for 15 years without service, you're probably a lot better off with a Seiko than a Rolex, meanwhile if you want it to be accurate but and are okay with it's relatively high maintenance costs then a Rolex is a much better choice for you.

For me, it's BOCTOK, the best luxury watch brand

>>14999087
mesh straps look like shit

>>14999087
I'm gonna vomit

>>14998930
amazon. they all look and feel cheap as fuck so you'll just be left with buyer's remorse

>>14999095
I compared a Seiko 5 to a Seamaster in person the other day and literally could not tell there was a 4k difference.

>>14999084
>There's really no "best" as much as it is a question of goals and priorities.
Really good way of looking at it.

>>14999095
Actually the only terrible thing about them is the strap.

>>14999084
I guess I'll just go looking for a king seiko somewhere, then.

Suggest a watch that signals “hentai watcher”. Thanks.

>>14999123
any grand seiko

>>14999123
Any swiss chronograph because they all make that loud one way winding sound while you jerk off

New watch. What do you think?
Picked it up from the AD yesterday

>>14999095
Don't listen to this. Seiko 5s are perfect for someone just getting into autos.

Gonna finally buy my first luxury watch after years of wearing casios and seinis. Help me decide guys; I'm down to two watches.
>Tudor Black Bay 36mm
Or
>Longines Legend Diver 36mm

Inb4 wristlet

Which one would you guys choose?

>>14999261
>seinis
Lol I meant seikos

Got this just last month, anyone like digitale even though they all look like Casio cheapo

>>14999261
The Tudor.

>>14999261
the tudor, the longines looks like a mess.

Thoughts on the Zelos abyss 3?
miyota movement.
sapphre dial and crystal with AR.
neat meteorite (faux?) accents.

>>14999297

>>14999261
Id take that long jeans abomination over turdor any day. Shameles homage is never worth more than 100$

love vintage watches

Where and how do you guys sell your watches? I fell for the Seiko meme when I first started getting into watches so I have a ton of them I want to get rid of; literally bought 7 of them in a period of a month when I graduated from high school.

>>14999261
Tudor. I like the longines don't get me wrong, but the Tudor is more versatile and it built to last. It looks good in whatever situation and in whatever presentation. Sure, it's not an explorer, but it's pretty damn close. You'll get your money's worth.

>>14999458
just gift them to people. those things are probably worthless anyways

>>14999458
I bought 3 and thought I went overboard lol. Hate to say it but for that price range you probably wanna just sell them on reddit where you wont have to worry much about fees. Ive sold a couple of watches there and havent had any issues.

Which seikos did you buy BTW?

>>14999466
They're shitters for sure, but I'd figure I can get at least 100-200 for each of them.
>>14999478
I'll have to consider doing that. I have a SARB033, SARB035, SARB017, SKX007, SNA411, SKX013, and a SNK809.

I know, pretty cringe. I regret spending so much money on these. I just want one or two nice watches and having more than 2 or 3 is just pointless and stupid now that I look at it.

I also have an orient black ray, casio gshock, casio calculator watch, and a casio illuminator. All of which, besides the gshock, I am going to dispose of as well somehow; probably not sell them because it would be pointless.

>>14999500
The sarbs and skxs should actually do relatively well. Probably wont lose much (and might even break even) assuming they're in good condition and you didnt overpay for them.

>>14999297

I think it's a Sellita SW200, not a Miyota.

Either way I dont like it but because I don't like meteorite dials and I don't like 80mm divers so it's not for me. I wish they made again more Makos or Horizons GMT because I really like those and I could see myself buying one.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/comments/f1x4f0/identify_uncle_passed_away/

Why would they buy this for $700, what the fuck?

>>14999446

You’re gay for saying yay or nay nigger. Reconsider your life choices.

>>14999261
Tudor

>>14999500
Those SARBs have been discontinued, so you may get more. I've seen the alpinist going for several hundred on ebay.

What do we think about Hamiltons? Thinking of dropping close to a thousand for this. Any alternatives you guys like? I want a semi dress watch that can be easily dressed down.

>>14999299
>>14999297
I like Zelos and have a Mako V3. Unless you have an 8" wrist, that 20mm thick case is going to look fucking ridiculous on you.

>>14998745
Baltic is looking to come out with a GMT complication soon

Does (replica) tudorfag still post? Haven’t been on in a while.

>>14998932
Not him. Been wanting a Baltic for years and will probably get one next year. It's easily the best value and best looking microbrand.

which is the most aesthetic and which is the most "practical"
time only
date
day + date

>>14999953
Aesthetic? No date or date only. Practical? Day and date.

For adults with jobs, date complication is a necessity.

Suggest a watch with this type of feel.

>>14998632
looking at my first luxury watch. i'm currently looking at somethin like a rolex explorer mk2, omega aqua terra (either the black golf version or the one with the anti magnetic meme shit) or maybe an iwc pilots "petit prince".
anyone have experience with the brands?

>>14999664
got this one for around 500 bucks. nice watch for the price. the nato strap it comes with is a bit weird.

>>14999991
Well, he's wearing an Apple Watch.

>>15000044
Why’d you zoom in to the cock bro

I have a Seiko I want to take in somewhere to get looked at and maybe get the dial/hands realigned and/or how fast it runs regulated, where should I be taking it? Do I need to take it to some official/appointed Seiko repair place?

>>15000213
The bin.

>>15000213
I'd look for a local independent watchmaker (i.e. not a jewelry store battery monkey) who has decent reviews or gets recommended on watch forums.

>>15000213
Just ask around in your local anime meet.

>>14999664
Nothing wrong with the brand but I think this model is too big and the date looks out of place. There's a blue stowa partitio which looks similar. You can get on the secondary market for under 1k.

>>14999988
>Day and date
date is sufficient. only NEETs lose track of what day it is.

>>14999540
why the fuck wouldn't they take $700 for that Casio Edifice? you can't attach "sentimental value" to something so mass-produced, cheap, and ugly.

>>15000228
Local place is a jewelry store but their a certified Rolex dealer would that be a good place to take it? Would they service a Seiko you think?

>>15000405
Have some fucking manners.

>>15000407
Not sure I follow

>>15000410
Would you take a Toyota to a Mercedes dealership?

>>15000270
Not true. Not everybody works 9-5 monday to friday. Its easy to lose track of day of the week when you work random shifts anytime.

>>14999664
Hamilton Valiant

>>15000213
why would you do that with a Seiko? aren't they so cheap they're disposable? I'd figure the service would cost as much as a new Seiko.

>>14999664

>>15000405
I said an independent watchmaker, not one who works at a jewelry store or watch dealer. You'll need to do some Googling to find one, or just post your closest city and I'll Google it for you since I know what to look for.

I am interested in buying an older Rolex. My budget is under $10k. I don't anything about watches. Where to buy? What models and signs to avoid? What's a good Rolex model?

>>15000541
Augusta GA

ID on this watch?

$4k
18k gold rolex

>>15000564

First you need to read up for about a half a year because you'll get ripped off or you'll buy something you will regret.
Good luck down the rabbithole.

>>15000600

cool

>>15000582
some generic digital shitter, it's cool he switched to those after wearing a rolex

>>15000607
Some ig accounts that will give you tons of information. It's a lot to soak up, take your time. Don't take anything these guys say as the whole truth, some of them are dealers, but they have lots of knowledge. Rolex's archives are not open to the public and they do nothing to assist collectors and/or buyers in confirming or debunking myths, production numbers, anomalies in references and so on. Rolex collecting is a minefield.

Don't buy luxury watches if they don't come with the original papers.

Should I?

>>15000685
Papers don't mean much if you don't know about them. The market for papers is as big as the market for watches. Again, you'll need to read up about them or you're very likely to buy a slapped together watch with doctored papers.

Should I?

It's such a bizarre post, there's no way someone was buying it for more than retail price, and there's no way that the dude would refuse, is he trying to drum up interest for when he puts it on reddit classifieds or something, I have no idea what's happening there.

>>15000725
For which reason? I like it aesthetically

>>15000667
If there's so many people who have handled thousands of Rolexes what's the point in having one in the first place?

I can guarantee that there's at least a thousand times less people in the world who have ever worn a Yema or a Guinand, than there is who have worn a Rolex.

Didn't find any half dedent looking independent watchmakers in Augusta, but I did find a couple you should check out within a couple of hours drive:

http://www.nesmithwatchclockrepair.com/

I would get in contact with either or both of them about what services you need done.

>>15000429
No but I would take it to an independent shop that also worked on Mercedes. Retard.

What is a reasonable price for a gold plated quartz zenith cosmopolitan?

Im a man with small 6 inch wrists and I was looking at some 36mm watches and came across some women's watch that is 25mm. Is it easy to pull off such a small watch? I try googling men wearing women's watches but the standard for women's watches has gone up to a 35mm+ case size so all I see are men saying it's okay to wear 35mm watches.

>>15001118
>im a man
no youre not

Both my shitters. Enjoy them both and have some new straps coming soon.

>>15001118
Focus more on the design of the watch and the size than whether it's labelled as mens or womens. 35mm was a mens watch size for decades before the modern trend of large watches. 36mm Rolex models still look great, even on people with 7.5"+ wrists.

>>15001119
Don't care at this point desu. I'm not super masculine so I guess I don't care at this point. All I'm wondering is about proportions. A lot of the old Hamilton men's dress watches from the 30s are around 25mm-28mm so I'm curious.

Thoughts on the 2020 Ferrari challenger lads? SF1000.

>>15001118
25mm is definitely just a women's watch. 36mm would be fine on a 6" wrist, but it's not like 34mm or 35mm watches aren't out there.

>>15001126
Excellent timepieces, wear them in good health.

>>15001128
I'm looking at a 25mm watch not a 35. Just curious if it would look too ridiculous.

>>15001137
Yes. It would look rediculous. Sorry.

>>15001794
Most prestigious, best quality, most accurate. Omega in the 1960s occupied approximately the market position Rolex does today, seen as the absolutely top brand before you got into haute horlogeriem brands.

Actually, that's wright at the meeting with the palm. Apparently, you measure it at the wrist bone, so in that case, mine is ~7.25"

>Is the modern version of the watch that literally invented the stainless steel sports watch category a dress watch?
No

>>15002120
I'd recommend you consider looking for a 52xx King Seiko rather than the 56xx King Seiko you have pictured. The 56xx King Seiko models are all highly prone to developing a problem with the date quickset mechanism, and in any case weren't typically adjusted with as much care and attention as the 52xx and 45xx King Seiko models.

>>15002788
>$2000 for Tissot tier external finishing and a Powermatic 80 movement
Obscenely overpriced for what you're getting.

>>15002134
What's up my moon cricket?

>>15002809
wasn't the plastic date thing change in the later versions?

>>15002818
whats wrong with the finish? i haven't seen it in person yet.

>>15002838
All 56xx movements have a plastic part in the date quick set mechanism that tends to shrink and crack due to age. In general movements designed and made by the Suwa Seikosha division of Seiko (typhoon logo on the dial) tend to have more long term reliability issues than those designed by Daini Seikosha (lighting bolt on the dial).

>>15002839
Basically, the rounded over case edges show that the case was finished quickly and cheaply by hitting it with a buffing wheel. That effect of rounding over all the edges like that is often called 'lozenging'. Also the hands are flat, stamped out of a sheet likely, and the edges haven't been cleaned up so they look rough if you see them under strong light. These are finishing shortcuts that are acceptable on a $500 watch but not on a $2000 watch.

>>15002111
>two toned sub

two tone watches are the least versatile and chintzy things ever. please burn that gucci and d&g watch and sell the others and get a decent steel datejust or something wtf

>>15002855
Nigger stop expect Dufour finishing on a regular watch. It’s perfectly fine you fucking weeb.

>>15002886
Other watchmakers offer much better external finishing at that pricepoint, as well as movements that aren't disposable trash that will be thrown out at service because it literally isn't worth a watchmakers time to service them. You might as well buy a ~$500 microbrand diver if that kind of external finishing is acceptible to you.

>>15002855
okay thanks for the qrd. i'm going to have a look at it in the shop and pay attention to what you pointed out. would be a shame because i absolutely love the design

>>15002896
Hey, you may decide you love the design enough to accept the trade offs, but better for you to have your eyes open about the strengths and weaknesses of the watch before you make a decision. If you take a look at an Oris diver, that should be a good comparison for external finishing. Oris does a pretty decent job on external finishing on their watches for the price (though I really don't like the design of their diver personally).

>>15002788
Look for other vintage style divers

>>15002842
hmm ok this has really turned me off the automatic king seikos. i might look at a 45xx ks or try and find a nice vintage grand seiko. i just love that "grammar of design" case

>>15002930
you have any recommendations at what to look at other than >>15002903 ?

>>15002945
The 52xx King Seikos do not have the same issues as the 56xx models. The 52xx is one of the most reliable movements Seiko ever designed. It's so good that Seiko resurrected it in the 1990s as the 4Sxx and Credor still uses it today.

The 45xx King Seikos are great, but significantly more expensive to buy, are more prone to long term wear issues due to the high beat rate, and expensive to source donor parts for because there were no cheap variants of the 45xx movement.

Gonna buy that Roolex.

It's the only respectable tool watch brand.

>>15003090

>>15003062
If the bezel was less curved and a bit closer to an octagon to match the angularity o fthe bracelet and case it would be amazing. As it is I can't stand it.

>>15003081
i'll give eterna a look. gonna check out oris and rado in the shop today. i'm a bit afraid of having a mental breakdown and buy the rolex explorer i was eyeballing earlier

What's the point of a cheap dress watch, what do you wear it with, a cheap suit? Why even wear a cheap suit and a cheap watch, what would you wear it to?

name of this watch plox

>>15003195
Timex is always recommended in fashion mags/articles that aren't watch oriented, and for good reason.
>>15003289
A place where you're expected to dress up but no one actually wants to because they aren't old money, or even new money trying to fit in. Like church, interviews for anything that isn't banking/lawyering, weddings for poorfags...

>>15003289
poor people still have weddings and funerals

>>15003303
Timex is based, fuck you

>>15003307
So? Just go to the funeral in normal dark clothes. And get married at the notary, not like you have money for a real wedding if you can't even afford a watch.

>>15002111

Holy crap, someone is fragile overcompensating and has deep crippling self esteem issues.I almost feel bad for you but in reality, I don't give a shit.

I am wearing a 5 dollar watch. Feels good.

its literally just some shitty casio

the only watch you ever need.

Outstanding quality for the price, keeps about +3 a day. Workhourse eta movement but for less than 1k it can’t be beat.

Shoutout to my boy Spencer too

last thing I need is my watch reminding me of my back pain every time I look at it

>>15003332
I can't even imagine having your attitude. That's so fucking stupid. Just because you're poor doesn't mean you can't have a "real" wedding, it just has to be more thought out and the planning can't be as outsourced.

>>15003380
>brand literally called "whitebread" in french
Doesn't get wankier than that. I fucking dare the entirety of /wt/ to top this.

sup, been lurking wt for a while, wanted to get into watches since some time ago, may I have your experience of your first watches etc? I don't want to fuck it up from the beginning, how many do you spend in watches every year? also pic related is the watch I want to be the first one in my collection because cheap af to be honest, I like the divers aesthetic and seems decent, reading the pastebins right now, let me now what should I know, what to avoid etc, as far I know is mandatory to avoid fashion brands like hugo boss, gucci, ferrari and such

>>15003496
I don't know how big your wrist is, but this watch is kind of small, but I like it for that reason. Also amazon has that for really cheap sometimes

>>15003496
seiko, phoibos for divers, casio for more rugged stuff, citizen/timex for looks

>>15003496
>buying an Invicta
>for any reason

>>15003289
>what would you wear it to?

>>15003496
Gucci are quality swiss made watches and don't belong in the category of watches to avoid.

>>15003496
I'm not the biggest fan of inivicta watches but they make relatively well spec'd if a bit chincey automatic watches under $200.

I'm here in Los Cabos, Mexico on vacation. I happened to stumble across a tudor kiosk carrying the Black Bay 58 in all its glory. I was about to pull the trigger but had some reservations and asked the dealer to keep it on hold. I am unable to find the dealer on the tudor website although they are on the Rolex website as authorized dealers. This would constitute my first luxury watch purchase. I don't want to make an over $3,000 mistake. My biggest concern is whether or not this is an authorized dealer even though the salesman assured me. I have concerns for maintenance and warranty down the line when I'm back stateside. I have been on a wait list for over 8 months with an authorized dealer in the United States. I feel like this is too good to be true or am I just being too paranoid? Any guidance or assistance for more experienced folks would be greatly appreciated.

>>15003706
If you think it's a scam, it's a scam.
Unless you don't care about burning three thousand, you did the right thing.

>>15003496
Back when I started I spent ages trying to decide, reading reviews and looking at pictures. The watches I started out loving I would soon hate and vice versa. At some point it's about pulling the trigger on something you like and then hope it doesn't turn into a mistake.

what does baran mean in german? in russian it's a dumb male sheep

>>15003762
Yeah, manlet rage paired with cocke is a fun combination.
He was also portraied in the tabloid media as some sort of self made millionaire but in reality he made money with dumb shit like human trafficking. The other stuff could be drugs and tax evasion. But i only dislike the bad prostitution stuff and that some german retards think that he is some sort of good guy.

Oh, the yt channel, yeah baran is goat in russian. But that's just some random channel that had his story, channel has nothing to do with this fag.

Congrats on your shilling friend. You definitely played those fools by speaking positive about something they think they'll like when you in fact don't like it. I'm sure it's really going to make them feel silly when they like the watches and find out that (You) in fact do not like them.

>>15004026
well im sure there will be another sale sometime soon. just wait until then or bite the bullet on another. you could also ask customer support, doesnt hurt

Thinking about purchasing myself a Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon. The heritage heavily draws me in, as does the design of the watch (including it's robustness). A little over $3,000.

What do you guys think?

The in house movement has been debunked as nothing more than a slightly modified 2824-2

I don't know if that's truly a bad thing though, I suppose the servicing will be more expensive? Yema really needed to talk about it more.

>>15003817
Yema sucks ass, I own one and it has a shit ton of problems and is overpriced, still very pretty to me though. I would suggest you instead look at vintage yema auctions on eBay. I toyed with the idea of owning a $250 quartz superman from the 70's as my beater tool watch before picking up a Hamilton 9797

>>15003496
I had that Invicta. Just don't use it to go diving because the lume doesn't last that long and I don't think they have been pressure tested properly either. The engraving on the side is ugly. The only good thing about it is the Malaysian movement.
